Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

It is planned to include at least 40 volunteers between the ages of 18-65 who meet the inclusion criteria and provide primary care services to individuals with disabilities who attend Sportive Skills and Coordination Training Centers operating in the provinces of Istanbul and Gaziantep within the body of the Foundation for the Physically Disabled. Musculoskeletal complaints of caregivers related to the care process (neck pain, low back pain and upper extremity pain), physical fitness parameters (functional capacity and shortness-flexibility, balance and footpad pressure distribution), the effects of the caregiving process on the caregiver and mental well-being will be evaluated.

After the first evaluation, the participants will be given an informative training seminar on the effects of exercise on healthy life and the regulation of ergonomics in our behaviors. After the seminar, participants will be included in a structured home exercise program. The home exercise program prepared by the research team and recorded on video will be delivered to the participants. The exercise program will be continued for 6 weeks, 3 days a week. The exercise program will be prepared weekly to advance to the next level. Exercise compliance and attendance will be monitored weekly by the researchers. Evaluations will be repeated at the end of the 6-week exercise program.

Establishment of an exercise program: In the light of the data obtained as a result of the evaluations, an individual-specific exercise program will be created. The exercises will be taught one-on-one to the participants. With the exercise video prepared by the project team and sent to the patients, the participants will be prevented from forgetting the exercises and they will be stimulated to do the exercises correctly. The content of the exercise program will include exercises that include aerobic, strengthening and flexibility components. The exercise program will take approximately 30-45 minutes.
